[FWTools] Out of Memory error CPLCalloc()

[Travis Kirstine]

I've been having problems with reading of .dem and .flt raster with FWTools
1.2 with both linux and windows (see below).  To see if the problem was at
my end I unistalled FWTools and reinstalled a older version that was working
before and things seemed to work fine  (FWTools 1.0.04a).
